Book Reviews of Run Baby Run
Book Review: A Timeless Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Nicky Cruz is a personal friend of mine, and I can assure you, he's the real deal -- open, honest, caring, a great husband, father, and grandfather. Ever since his dramatic conversion related in this book, he's been a changed man with a deep social conscious and a heart for inner cities and their residents. This book is a must read -- it never goes out of date. In fact, it is perhaps even more pertinent in today's culture than ever before.Book Review: A lifetime of influence.
Summary: 5 Stars
First read some 25 years ago, this is an account of touching reality - a harsh environment of tortuously limited survival odds. That Cruz escapes is testament to the persistance of his religious preceptor. As compelling a message, however, is the strength Cruz found within to turn from his familiar and disturbingly comfortable existance. Therein lies the true purpose - it is less a bible thumping exercise than an exemplar of spiritual power. I have read the book on countless occasions and, though not deeply religious, have often drawn on it's dynamism. As with other critques, I believe that as a tale of hope, though it may not convert, it might at least reform.Book Review: A prominent member of a gang meets Jesus...
Summary: 4 Stars
In 1995 I fell in love with a strongly believing girl and she gave me several books to read. "Run, Baby, Run" was one of them (it was written in Czech) and one should admit that I enjoyed the book. Nicky Cruz's gang was really very violent, fighting with policemen often and many people there were drug addicts. But a preacher introduced Nicky to Jesus Christ one day and then everything changed...Book Review: A true inspiration...
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a great read!
With simple language that helps you get closer to the characters, and the inpiring goals that make you reflect in your own life!
Truely one of the few books that could change your life for ever :)
Book Review: A truly inspiring true life story
Summary: 5 Stars
My older sister told me this book changed the way she looked at everything as a teenager, so I got it from her. On the first page I was hooked, and I couldn't put it down. This book combines heart-pounding suspense with the revelation of God's love for ALL of his children. It also shows how even a little man can go and do the impossible, like the pastor that saved Nicky Cruz. This is one of the best books i have ever read, and I do not say that lightly. I strongly recommend it for any christian.
